Until that moment whenF, I find the one that I'll spGend forever with

[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse]

C G

This time, I wonder what it feels like

Am F

To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of

But dreams just aren't enough

C G

So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling

Am F

The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene

Straight off the silver screen

[Pre-Chorus]

So I'll be holding my breath, right up 'til the end

F G

Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

[Chorus]

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there

Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares

Someone to love with my life in their hands

There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to do it on their own

And everyone wants to know they're not alone

There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere

There's gotta be somebody for me out there

[Verse]

C G

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight

Am F

And dammit this feels too right, it's just like déjà vu

Me standing here with you

[Pre-Chorus]

So I'll be holding my breath, could this be the end

F G

Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

[Chorus]

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there

Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares

Someone to love with my life in their hands

There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to do it on their own

And everyone wants to know they're not alone

There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere

There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Am F D F

[Bridge]

You can't give up, (when you're looking for) a diamond in the rough

(because you never know) When it shows up, make sure you're holding on

Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

[Quiet Chorus]

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there

And everyone wants to feel like someone cares

Someone to love with my life in their hands

There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

[Chorus]

Nobody wants to do it on their own

And everyone wants to know they're not alone

There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere

There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there

Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares

There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere

There's gotta be somebody for me out there
